Re: FIFA 07 (Xbox 360) - Next-gen
Heaps more. For those who wonder where am I coming from with all this info here's the link again

"...The transfers are up too date. Ruud is at Real Madrid and Cole is at Chelsea.
When creating a player, you can change things like boots. Boots you unlock in the shop. To get credits for the shop, you need to complete challenges...and believe me, some are rediculous!!
I am not too concerned with no ref/linemen. Having the ball being its own entity is great! It really does make the game a lot more realistic.
I will get a photo of the manager mode screens.
One thing you now have to do in manager mode is built up individual players attributes. Thus through out a season you are growing your players. Having both game and season based fitness meters, forces you to rest your players between games.
The controls are the same as the demo. You get used to the new style very quickly. It is actually a lot better now.
I will have to create a list of legendary players, will check when i get home tonight.
Manager mode uses points if i remember correctly. Never saw a currency symbol.
You can edit players, so i presume you can change their boots. (I havent tried, just looked at the screens, too busy playing).
No 3rd kits in the shop.
Yes, you can make changes and transfers to the clubs. There is also a reset changes button. For international teams you can also make changes and selections etc
Yes, the default difficulty level for ranked games is still semi-pro. Also all the achievements are also based on semi-pro.
Not sure about the switching player assistant. I know in normal play you can. It is part of the setup options.
Having played with mostly other South African guys where we mostly have 384k ADSL connections, the online play is very good. Out of the 30 odd online games i played over the weekend. We had 2 disconnect (though i could still chat to the guy as we started a voice chat before the game in one of the incidents), about 3 games suffered a lag. The rest we didnt have a problem with.
For the d-pad questions. I didnt take too much notice of it. But if i remember correctly, it is only for strategy. There are 2 controller styles to pick from and they mostly change buttons.
The Juventus stadium is one of the unlockable ones though.
I have played at St James Park, Allianz Arena, Olympiastadion Berlin, Stamford Bridge, Camp Nou, Old Trafford and some others. I can say that they look really good and accurate..."
The following is from another bloke named Ghorricks in the same thread who has also played the full game:
"...Just been into the local GameStation store here in Blackburn UK.
They have taken a delivery of FIFA 07 for the 360.
Looks like all the shops are waiting to see who breaks the release date first before handing over copies to customers.
Yesterday I played the FULL version at the Trafford Centre (Manchester,UK) and the game was indeed quite different... but not like it used to be. Problems were that the players appeared to be a little clumsey in tackles and bumping into each other... the ball being seperate was great as expected, but it can be difficult to tackle... well the person who played against me said it was... I thought it was ok.
Shooting is better on the full version... I bagged 8 goals.
My advice to anyone who thought the demo wasn't very good would be to buy the game from a store that has a good returns policy.... give it a long weekend and then if you don't like it - take it back and try Pro Evo 6. BUT BE WARNED... I played Pro Evo too and it wasn't next gen graphics, sound or gameplay... just looked an upscaled version of the PS2..."
Back to our informer:
"...I think gameplay generally has improved. The 'trick' moves are now in and it seems if the players now move better better generally. Though ghorricks is right, they do feel clumsy at times..."
, so i dont know which version "our informer" is playing, everything else seemed about right except for the sluggishness in player movements, apart from that, this is looking a solid enough step up for EA imo, deffo take heed to pepe montoto (:lol: what a name :mrgreen: ) advice, i was in game today and thier 10 day policy still stands, (i wonder who said it din't) so yeah, give it a good solid week and hopefully you'll be clear on what your opinions on the game is founded on
